  • Girls Shouldn’t Have To Walk In Fear

    We live in a world where ‘no’ means ‘convince me’.
    Where girls walk home with keys between clenched fists.
    Where a skirt defines if she’s asking for it or not.
    Where girls are slut shamed and men are seen as kings.

    When out at the club, guys respect ‘I have a boyfriend’ more than my ‘no’.
    It’s a lie, but vital for female survival.
    The bullshit we do to not get raped…
    While men are excused for the culture they create.

    “Not all guys”
    Tell that to Meagher or Dixon, oh wait, they’re dead.
    My heart bleeds for the millions of victims.
    But right now my veins burst fury red.

    Because it may be ‘not all guys’
    But it’s every fucking woman.
    Don’t tell me how to dress or when I can leave.
    Teach men how to be a decent human being. 🤬

  • Someone Called This Girl’s Japanese Tea Party Racist and Then a Japanese Person Stepped In

    Cultural appropriation has always been a touchy subject, but the topic has become especially heated in recent years thanks to so many media outlets setting bad examples (ahem, Vogue). That’s why when one Utah mum shared her daughter’s Japanese-themed birthday party FIVE years ago, it resurfaced on Tumblr and caused an uproar on the internet.

    One user has since called the mum “racist” and has criticized her for setting a bad example for her daughter.


    “Teach children this is not ok,” user ‘ginzers’ wrote.


    The response was quickly cheered and supported by other Tumblr users, and in the years that have followed this particular post has percolated around reddit and various other forums in one form or another. Hence why it resurfaces from time-to-time.
